Couldn't find a previous thread, so here goes...
Anybody here into Terry Reid?  I find his albums to be a bit of a mixed bag.  There is great stuff on all of them and though also some duds, the songs that shine, shine brightly.  Apt metaphor for this great number:

"Don;t give in to the lies.  Don't give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth.  And to hope."

    I have his second eponymous album on vinyl. A gift from my art teacher in HS.  It is an amazing album. Outside of that one I wasn't really too impressed with his music.  I heard he turned down being the front man of Led Zepplin. That has gotta sting.

    What cool gift!  Yeah, that's a great album.  I didn't know he had been turned down by Led Zeppelin.  Ouch!
    I also like his third album, River.  Good stuff!

    He turned Them down before they had plant. Page asked him...Talk about a stupid career move.

    Bummer!  That would have made a fine band! (Not that Zep were bad, lol).
